quote:Some have hinted at a Granger (NOLA native) for Eric Gordon (Indy native) deal. Works with salaries and needs though Pacers would need to throw in their first rounder (#23) to give it more credence.

The thing with trades is that both sides have to have a desire to do the deal.

I think Bird coming back means he doesn't want someone else getting credit for a championship team that he built. He'll move Granger if that makes them better. If they were willing to be a tax team when they have to pay Paul George, they could make a pretty good sales pitch to Iggy with the cap space freed up by dumping Granger. That would make them a legit contender.
